At 6.05 o'clock this evening, as I was walking up the 
hill from the boat landing, a Screech Owl began wailing in 
the pines at North Bridge and kept it up for a minute or more 
although the sun had not set ( it was at least ten minutes 
high); indeed the tops of the trees in which the bird was 
sheltered were bathed in sunlight at the time. This is the 
first instance of the kind that has come under my observation.
